HUXHUX Design Inc. partnered with Book of the Month to reimagine its office for a post-pandemic workplace. The project began with a close study of the company’s programming needs, examining how a distributed workforce and shifting patterns of ownership could reshape the traditional office environment.

The redesign of the Garment District floorplate moves away from density and toward flexibility. Approximately one third of the desks were removed and replaced with a generous collaborative lounge designed to support focused solo work, small meetings, and larger team gatherings. Meeting rooms were diversified in both size and function, while new social and collaboration spaces were woven throughout the open office.

Brand expression played a central role in the transformation. The entry sequence now features a curated bookstore, and an archive library was integrated into the workspace to celebrate the company’s editorial identity. By dedicating nearly one third of the office to adaptable, amenity-rich spaces inspired by the comforts of working from home, the design reframes the office as a purposeful destination that supports connection, creativity, and the evolving rhythms
